Imitation Rhodium “Treasure Bracelet” Scalloped Chain Available Again

Imitation Rhodium Chain #4: Round Bar Link Scalloped Chain

Our  Imitation Rhodium Chain #4: Round Bar Link Scalloped Chain is available once again.

If you recall, this is a brass chain with soldered oval jump rings between the 1×8 curved links. This chain is plated with an Imitation Rhodium finish, which is lighter than gunmetal or nickel, but darker than silver plate.

Did we mention we lowered the price per foot?

We've heard rumors of people adapting the Treasure Bracelet as shown in the February, 2009 Bead and Button magazine into watch bands, which no doubt look fabulous.

Have you thought about doing a Treasure Bracelet or Treasure Bracelet watchband using gunmetal chain, imitation rhodium chain, antique brass chain or antique copper chain?

Take a look at all of the 1×8 Scalloped Chains here
